Save PDF with unprintable fields
Hi guys
I created a PDF with some calculations with adobe acrobat pro (10.1.16). Some fields are visible but unprintable. My problem is, that the functions save as file pdf with the print function doesn't work any more (Mac User). With this feature, I could save my file in pdf without this fields. Is there another solution to generate a PDF without this unprintable fields?
Thanks for the help, Elio
It can be done with a script, but I think you can also do it with the built-in commands. There is a command to show/hide fields and there is a command to execute a menu item where you can select file - save as.

How can I create a PDF with editable fields?
I have a problem with my Microsoft word at the normal address form. Customers who fill out the forms, complete their area prescribed in form, but some of them also change the original text of the form. I though it would be better if direct to a digital solution by which I can have all my PDF form, but the need to 'fill in the fields' remains a problem. Is there a way where I can create a pdf with editable fields form my clients to fill out the requested information? This solution will also allow my clients the advantage of not having to print forms but rather to complete on the computer. Help, please.
It seems the comment by Bernd, this version 7 (Standard) did not have this
the fact of functionality, but version 9 (Standard).
See: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/matrix.html
However, as I wrote, if you want users to be able to save the file after
they filled, you will need version 9 (Pro).
And Acrobat has an assistant who can pick up the fields that were created in Word
and convert them into Acrobat form fields.

Cannot save PDF with CD player?
I'm unable to save any PDF with CD player. The economy icon is removed, and CTRL S does nothing. Any ideas?
Is that what you have made changes in registered pdf format previously? If this isn't the case, as Bernd said, Save... as the first. Then, when you make changes, you can use Save.

The script below is adapted in part from that has been with Illustrator and other pieces and the pieces that I picked up the Forum. When I run it on a 15.3 Mg .ai file it produces
. The same PFS size that would be the case if I manually created at Headquarters printing and by default; but the low-resolution sort option to 9 Mg as opposed to the 439 K he "should" be.
Please someone be kind advise me how can I change the script to work as I want that: I had counted on my custom screening done the work for me. Thank you in advance.
var jiName=app.activeDocument.name var pos = jiName.indexOf(".ai"); if (pos > 0){ jiName=jiName.substr(0,(pos)) } var pos = jiName.indexOf(".pdf"); if (pos > 0){ jiName=jiName.substr(0,(pos)) } var saveProof = new Window ("dialog", "Save Proof"); saveProof.orientation="column" saveProof.alignChildren = "center"; var sPGroup1 = saveProof.add ("group"); sPGroup1.orientation="column" sPGroup1.add ("statictext", undefined, "File Name"); var save_pdf = sPGroup1.add ('edittext {text:"", characters: 30, justify: "center", active: true}'); save_pdf.text=jiName+".pdf" var sPdQButtonGroup = saveProof.add ("group"); sPdQButtonGroup.alignment = "center"; sPdQButtonGroup.alignChildren="row" sPdQButtonGroup.add ("statictext", undefined,"File Quality"); var HQ=sPdQButtonGroup.add ("radiobutton", undefined, " HI-RES "); var IDefault=sPdQButtonGroup.add ("radiobutton", undefined, " Standard "); var lowres=sPdQButtonGroup.add ("radiobutton", undefined, " low-res "); sPdQButtonGroup.children[1].value = false; sPdQButtonGroup.children[3].value = false; sPdQButtonGroup.children[2].value = true; sPdQButtonGroup.active=true; sPdQButtonGroup.visible=true; var sPButtonGroup = saveProof.add ("group"); sPButtonGroup.alignment = "center"; sPButtonGroup.alignChildren="row" var sPok=sPButtonGroup.add ("button", undefined, "Save Proof"); var sPcancel=sPButtonGroup.add ("button", undefined, "Exit"); sPButtonGroup.active = true; sPcancel.onClick = function() { //sP_ok=false; saveProof.close(); } sPok.onClick = function() { app.executeMenuCommand('save'); // save existing Illustrator file var my_pdf= new File("users/Les/Desktop/PROOFS/"+save_pdf.text); //Full File Path saveFileToPDF(my_pdf); function saveFileToPDF(myFile){ //Setup Save Options for PDF var saveOpts = new PDFSaveOptions(); saveOpts.compatibility = PDFCompatibility.ACROBAT6; saveOpts.generateThumbnails = true; saveOpts.preserveEditability = true; saveOpts.requirePermissionPassword = true; saveOpts.permissionPassword = "*-*-*-*-*-*"; saveOpts.compressArt = true; //default saveOpts.embedICCProfile = true; saveOpts.enablePlainText = true; saveOpts.generateThumbnails = true; // default saveOpts.optimization = true; saveOpts.pageInformation = true; if (HQ.value==true){ saveOpts.pDFPreset = '[High Quality Print]'; } if (IDefault.value==true){ saveOpts.pDFPreset = '[Illustrator Default]'; } if (lowres.value==true){ saveOpts.compatibility = PDFCompatibility.ACROBAT4; saveOpts.pDFPreset = 'Smallest File Size v4'; } // var originalInteractionLevel = userInteractionLevel; //save the current user interaction level app.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevel.DONTDISPLAYALERTS; //Set user interaction level to suppress alerts app.activeDocument.saveAs(myFile,saveOpts); //Save File userInteractionLevel = originalInteractionLevel; //Set user interaction level back to original settings } saveProof.close(); } saveProof.active=true saveProof.show()
Oh, please check that: ' "saveOpts.preserveEditability = true;".
Maybe try to disable this option.

Save pdf with new instances of subform
I have a pdf file saved as dynamic XML forms with typical button to add instances of a subform.
The form works fine, but the problem is not showing the bodies added after save and open.
Can someone tell me how to fix?
Attached is an example.
https://www.hightail.com/download/elNJblRwY3k5eFZjR05Vag
Thanks in advance
Hello
There are two things that you need to change in your form, to make it work.
1. for the subform "dades_linies_suport" activate "repreat element for each data item" option in the links palette.
2. change the script in the "ShowMoreBtn" in:
_dades_linies_suport.addInstance(true);
That's all!
I hope this helps.

interactive PDF with the text box replace Chinese simsun font
Hi all
We have designed an interactive pdf with text fields. We need the text fields in a Chinese font. I understand that this cant be done in Indesign (change the police seized in Chinese), I moved the file to Acrobat Pro and used the text property to change the font Simsun but when we try the police is always in English. Any ideas on how to fix this problem?
Thanks in advance
Paul
It will take the user to install the Asian language pack and or traditional Chinese:
When the user attempts to enter Chinese characters, it will invite the user to download if is not already installed. Large unicode fonts get not include for the use of form fields as other fonts are.

I can't save a PDF with the same name
I can't save pdf files with the same name on the network drive in our society. I have full control over this network drive and can do anything create/read/write/change. Other programs work fine, but not Adobe Reader. I can save a pdf file with a different name, but when I try to save as in XI or replace as in DC had an error: the file is read-only or opened by someone else. Save the document under a different name or in a different folder.
By the way, Acrobat Pro, I got the same message.

Can I create a complex interactive PDF with switchable image fields and the embedded font styles
I am wanting to create a "partner of the month" model that allows the user to change the name of the partner, month, year and have a space to upload a photo, all of them with a specific font embedded style to maintain the identity of the brand. Is this possible? I never went too deep in the interactive PDFs outside of internal and external hyperlinks and text fields, but even with these fields, it was not but police regardless of the system of users being implemented. I'm basically wanting to create a content generator base which can be read and completed with Acrobat Reader.
You can create an Adobe form in InDesign (CS6 upwards) which you can refine and player activate Acrobat Pro. You can include text fields that the end-user can supplement, but they would not be able to download an image in it, that the installation is not available.

I had windows 7 and it has been updated to windows 10. After the update, I opened a PDF with adobe reader. The sign economy is idle. When I click on save slot, it is said that he can save a blank document. Earlier, I have not a problem to save a pdf document with adobe reader on my hard drive. I found no updates available for my adobe reader software. Is adobe still to make the drive compatible with windows 10?

Bernd, these rights are not necessary to the reader XI. Unless the file has been secured, then it should be savable.
I recommend that upgrade you to the latest version of the XI player that is available and if this does not work, try to run a repair installation (or upgrade to DC).
